General Introduction
dishmemoirs is all about easy, friendly recipes. You don't need an account, and we never gather your personal info directly. That means we never sell or give away any details about you.
Still, we'd like to let you know about data that might get collected automatically by outside services—things like analytics, personalized ads, and embedded videos. This privacy policy lays out in plain language how these tools work, what data could be collected, and the ways dishmemoirs looks out for your privacy every time you visit.
Third-party services used
To keep dishmemoirs running smoothly—and so you can enjoy our recipes free of charge—we use some third-party tools. These services help us better understand visitors, pay for site upkeep through ads, and spice up our site with videos. Take a look at the main external platforms we use:
- YouTube: Now and then, recipe videos on dishmemoirs are hosted on YouTube (which is owned by Google). Watching these can lead to YouTube or Google placing cookies to track stats like play counts. If you're signed in to your Google account, YouTube could connect those views, but dishmemoirs can't see your details. For more on this, check YouTube or Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us keep the site fast, reliable, and smooth by tracking our traffic. This tool doesn't use cookies to identify you, and only gathers info like IP address or general browsing to diagnose issues and watch for glitches. Everything Cloudflare collects is bundled up and can’t be tied to you personally.
- Google AdSense: AdSense lets us show ads across dishmemoirs, covering costs while keeping content free for everyone. Cookies might keep track of what interests you, showing more useful ads along the way. dishmemoirs can't see the info Google uses for ad targeting. If you’d like full details, check out Google’s privacy notice.
- Google Analytics: With Analytics by Google, we look at overall visitor numbers—like time spent and popular sections. It tracks everything without telling us who you are, often using cookies so we know what's working well and which recipes get the most love.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny snippets of text saved on your device when you visit a site. Both dishmemoirs and our third-party partners depend on cookies to make your browsing better:
- Advertising cookies: These come from Google AdSense and show you ads that match your interests based on browsing history or the recipes you check out.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to see how folks use dishmemoirs. The info’s combined, so we only get general trends. That lets us figure out what needs fixing or which recipes are hits.
- Functional cookies: These crucial cookies make sure the site runs as it should—for instance, remembering your preferred language or consent settings. If you don’t allow them, some features may not work right.
By enjoying dishmemoirs, you’re saying yes to this cookie use. If you want, you can control or clear cookies in your browser settings—most browsers let you block, erase, or get a warning before anything’s saved. Just be aware: If you turn off cookies, dishmemoirs (plus other sites) might not work as smoothly.
